On Saturday we decided to explore Brooklyn, a borough we haven't really visited except for our visits just across the bridge for photo ops of the Manhtaan skyline.
It was a scorching summer afternoon and we made our way among rows of restaurants and coffee shops in Park Slope to a small Thai place named Beet. I had a groupon for the restaurant which offered very reasonable lunch options.
Then we walked leisurely through Prospect Park. I was surprised at how large the park was. Though not as iconic as Central Park, there were some nice locations.
Then we spent time at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. At $10 per person, it is a great way to spend an afternoon.
The Japanese garden was beautiful. 
There were three temperature controlled locations under ground for desert, tropical and wet envoronments. There was a nice bonsai garden indoors as well.
On our way back we stopped at the Tea Lounge, a large space with many comfy couches for some much needed cool drinks.
